"IVIR. GEORGE ROBINS h as great p l easure in announcing that he is favoured by the Instructions of the Proprietor to OFFER FOR SALE by PRIVATE TREATY, a singularly delightful Freehold Estate, including THE CASTLE OF TULLICHEWEN, presenting one of the FINEST SPECIMENS OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE, WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL PARK, CULT IVATED LANDS AND EXTENSIVE WOODS , , Delightfully situate within Five Miles of the GIGANTIC ROCK AND FORTRESS OF DUMBARTON, on the most interesting point of the Clyde, and only Twenty miles from the city of Glasgow. This splendid Property is now, by means of the Birmingham and Grand Junction Railways and the Steam Communication, brought within a short Journey of TWENTY-FIVE HOURS FROM THE GREAT METROPOLIS. THE CASTLE STANDS PROUDLY IN A FINELY WOODED PARK, and it is one of the leading features of this renowned spot, overlooking the most magnificent Scenery of Scotland, and altogether commen surate to the legitimate claims of SCOTCH AND ENGLISH HOSPITALITY. A NOBLEMAN OF RANK, will be quite at his ease ; although one of less pretensions, and who desires only to locate at Tullichewen for a limited season, will find the great desideratum of its not being inconveniently large, with the recreation of NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE aid DEFERRED ANNUITY SOCIETY.

Robert Palk, Esq. IWilliam Unwin Sims, Esq. Samuel Smith, Esq. Le Merchant Thomas, Esq. A public meeting of the Straw Hat Manufacturers and Dealers in Straw Plait, resident in the town and neighbour hood of Luton, was held lately at the Bell Inn, Luton. The object of the meeting was " to take into consideration the best means of regulating the markets, and enforcing greater regu larity in the measure of plait." Mr. E. WALLER being called to the chair, said—That one object of the meeting was to regulate the market, the arrangement of which, according to the present mode, was both inconvenient and absurd. He alluded to the fact that the market being on Monday was in itself an inconvenience to those who regarded the sacred engagements of the Sabbath ; and expressed his opinion that to plunge into business at this season of the year as early as at six or seven o'clock, was by no means desirable, especially as many buyers came 15 or 20 miles. There was no necessity for this anomalous proceeding, for if the market commenced at nine o'clock instead of the present early hour, a greater number of persons would attend, and a larger quantity of goods be brought to market. Sir PETER LAURIE-4 . know very well how you got into it. Ycu are more culpable than either of the others, for you are beyond the proverbial limit of the age of man.

BO IV-STREET. Richard Davis, the proprietor of the omnibus No. 3,861, was summoned before Mr. Twyroao, by Mr. Thomas, Secre tary for the Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals, for cruelly beating and ill-treating one of his horses. Mr. Peter Wright, a solicitor, residing in the Temple, about four o'clock on the 16th instant, was in Carey-street, where he saw the defendant whipping one of his horses, wnich re fused to go. He at first thought that it was a stubborn horse; but in a few minutes afterwards, when it was taken out of the vehicle, he discovered that the shoulders upon which the collar must have pressed were completely raw ; and when he spoke to the defendant about it, he was abuFed by him for interfering. He considered the defendant's conduct wanton and cruel. _ _ By the new principles of Life Assurance in this Society ma n y essential advantages, besides that of securing a provision for a family, or for old age, are aincd by the Assured, and thereby a vastly increased value is given to each policy effected with the Society.

Mr. Charles Dickens (author of the " Pickwick Papers," &e.) said that he thought Mr. Wright had under-stated the facts. When he came up the horse had fallen down, and when it rose the defendant lashed it about the head in the most cruel manner to make it go. He perceived the shoulders of the horse to be in the state described by Mr. Wright, and it was quite unable to go. Mr. TWYFORD asked Mr. Dickens if he considered, from the appearance of the horse, that it ought to work at all ? Mr. Dickens said that it was quite unable to work. The defendant said that the raw part was not more than the size of a penny-piece. He put the horse in the omnibus merely to try how it would go, having only bought it that inorning. He intended to drive it round Lincoln's-inn-fields, but it would not go, and was not in the omnibus more than five minutes. SPECIMENS OP DEFERRED ANNUITIES Mr. JOHN JONES, moved the first resolution..---He said, this resolution embraces a subject of considerable importance, viz. the better regulation of the Plait Market, and since the best institutions are liable to derangement it becomes all to watch them with vigilance, and to apply a prompt and efficient reform when circumstances require it. For some time past the irregularity of our Market transactions has been increasing to a degree which now loudly ealls for redress, and although eagerness and anxiety to procure cer ' tain kind of goods may have led some to over-step the mark, which few are reluctant to follow, it appears that the interest of the manufacturers would be best consulted by return ing to the old established rules of the place. It is important that we should preserve amidst increasing com petition that honour and fairness which has so distin guished the mercantile interests of our country; and while each seeks with becoming diligence to promote his own welfare, it may be realized without an encroachment on the rights of others. In order to secure this desirable object, the present meeting has been called, and we doubt not that the united wisdom and experience of those who are present will eminently conduce to our success. Mr. W. BOLTON seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then called the attention of the meeting to the more important object for which it was convened, namely, the devising a remedy for the practise of giving short mea sure in the sale of plait, which had become a most serious imposition and was practised to an alarming extent. He dwelt on the great losses thus sustained by the manufac turers, in consequence of defective measure, amounting in his opinion to full 10 per cent. The plan, he said, was con trary to human laws and divine authority. Mr. T. WALLER moved the second resolution, and pointed out in a very able manner the necessity of enforcing correct ness in the measure of plait, and hoped all would refuse to purchase any unless it was reeled according to the resolution. Mr. H. VISE seconded the resolution, and well explained the way in which such imposition on the public could be pre vented. This resolution was carried, a few voices being against it on the ground that it laid too heavy restrictions on the dealers in plait, who purchase it in small quantities. After thanks to the Chairman the meeting separated. A Committee is to be formed in the principal towns connected with the trade. BENEFITS.

SHOOTING, AND FISHING, as auxiliaries, to an extent that few can parallel. THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX IMPERIAL ACRES; the cultivated land is underlet at 5001. a-year, independently of the ' woods, which are in high co n diti on . Th e mans i on i s su i tably fur nished; the aid of Gillow and Dowbiggin, the celebrated artistes in decorative furniture, having been called in to complete it; and the appendages, in Pictures and articles of taste and vertu, give to it a decided supremacy over all its neighbouring rivals. The offices are fully equal to the most sanguine expectation. The moors do not merely find excellent pasturage for the cattle, but ample scope for those who would recreate in shooting black and red grouse, woodcocks, and all sorts of game. LOCH LOMOND, THE " NE PLUS ULTRA" OF SCOTLAND'S FAMED LAKES, within a short mile of the Castle and demesne, will delight the amateurs in wild fowl shooting; and those inclined to salmon and trout fishing will find it to their hearts' content in the River Leven. Such is au imperfect outline of a few of the prominent attributes to which this famed property puts in an irresistible claim. The difficult task, howeier, is still in abeyance—to pourtray in suitable language THE SURPASSING BEAUTY OF THE SPLENDID SCENERY, EMBRACING THE LOVELY LOCH AND LOFTY BEN LOMOND, (the greatest features amid Scotland's never-ending splendour and variety) is an undertaking to which the humble individual intrusted with the conduct of this sale feels most acutely how inadequate he is to the duty that has been imposed on him ; his chief relief, nay, " his main stay" (if he may be permitted the observation), arises out of a reminiscence that even SCOTIA'S OWN BARD. found himself in the same dilemma. All those who have not par taken of the good fortune to sojourn amid the beauteous scenery before alluded to, or to behold Loch Lo mon d s l eep i ng i n t h e arms of her hundred hills by THE LIGHT OF A SEPTEMBER MOON, he would invoke with all humility, yet earnestness, to search for what the greatest novellist of by-gone .1 , i has said of THE MOST BEAU/A.l'l7L OF ALL THE CALEDONIAN LAKES. The magic touch of his never-erring muse must awaken a sensation first to see and then to possess THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THIS VICINITY, " So wondrous wild, the whole might seem, The scenery of a fairy dream." Next in our kind remembrance IS BEN LOMOND, which will necessarily partake of its. due meed of praise. This mountain, LIKE SAUL AMIDST HIS COMPANIONS, o'ertops all contemporaries. The valley, teeming in wild fertility, relieved by pastures and corn land, and varied by ALL THE SOFTER BEAUTIES OF NATURE, completes a scene which can only be appreciated by ocular demon stration. To conclude, it is desirable to make known that this in valuable property is offered for sale at a price to give ample return of interest upon the capital, and one half of the purchase-money may remain on security of the Estates, at four per cent. There are three beautiful Views of the Castle and Loch to be seen at Mr. Robins's Offices. Covent-garden, October.

The meeting was very generally attended by persons of all classes of the community, among whom one feeling only appeared to prevail, an earnest and sincere anxiety to pro mote by all the means in their power the object for which they had assembled. Mr. Dickens said that there was a very large portion of the hiTse's shoulder completely raw, and he had no doubt but the defendant intended to work it in that condition. The defendant repeated that he did not intend to work the horse. He only intended to try it previous to sending it to his father's farm in the country, anti had got pads made for the purpose of preventing the collar from injuring the shoulder. He could prove that he did not cruelly beat, or in any •way ill treat the horse. F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary. PUBLICATIONS. On Wednesday next, in 3 vols. post Bvo.

Yesterday William Clarke was placed at the bar before Mr. Grove, charged with driving without a license. Police constable Davies, N 169, stated that about six o'clock the previous evening he was near Shoreditch Church, when he saw the prisoner driving No. 840 cab, which had the name of Isaac Nathan on it. Witness asked him if he was the driver ? He replied that he was not, and stated that the driver was at li tea, and had told him (prisoner) to drive about with the cab. Witness then took the cab to the green-yard. Mr. GROVE—You have an order from the Commissioners of Police to watch these matters ? Davies replied that they had. It was the more necessary at that spot, as it frequently hap pens that the drivers leave their cabs to those not licensed, and they are oftentimes thieves who are so entrusted. Mr. GROVE inquired if the proprietor of the cab was pre sent ? Davies said that he was not, and stated that the licensed driver of the cab had paid the expenses of the green yard and had taken away the cab. 21Ir. G ROVE di rected that a summons should be issued against the proprietor of the cab, in order for him to account why he suffered a person other than the one licensed to drive his cabriolet.

SPLENDID HOTEL-TONBRIDGE WELLS. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is empowered to Treat. and on exceedin g ly eli g ible terms, for a Lease of THE CALVERLEY HOTEL, in CALVERLEY PARK. This splendid Hotel is of the first class, and it is not too much to add, that it is not surpassed by any rival Establishment throughout England. The situation has been wisely selected. It is on an eminence, and the Hotel and Terrace-walk command extentive and very beautiful views of the adjacent lovely country, adorned by Woodland Scenery of surpassing beauty. It is within A PARK OF TWENTY ACRES, a short distance from the Church, and near the centre of Ton bridge Wells. The Pleasure Grounds are laid out with infinite taste. It may be well to observe that Calverley House, previously to its being reconstructed and formed into the present Magnificent Hotel, was for several seasons selected by "HER MAJESTY .THE QUEEN" and the Duchess of Kent, as their much admired abode. The si tuation, therefore, is no longer equivocal. The next (and a very important point it is) is to demonstrate its great value for its in tended purpose—fortunately but little is necessary to be said ; the numberless persons from the great metropolis who seek health or recreation, cannot any where, at so easy a distance, meet with a more salubrious air, or more lovely scenery than at Tonbridge Wells, and when the Calverley Hotel, midway between London, Hastings, St. Leonard's, Eastbourne., &c., and only 30 miles from Brighton, shall present its splendid and economical welcome to ♦isitors, the more reasonable apprehension seems to be, that its ample accommodation will still be insufficient. It is not intended to carry into detail its manifold qualifications, but confine this an nouncement to a few only of the most prominent points. There are altogether 50 Bed Chambers, more than 20 Tavern or Sitting_ Rooms, an elegant and spacious Coffee-room ; with ample Coach houses and Stabling. The Building presents a most imposing front. The architecture is in the best taste of Mr. Decimus Burton, and the arrangement throughout so perfect as to leave nothing more to be desired. To conclude, it may be suggested that if civi lity and moderate charges be appended as the motto to adorn the entrance-hall, it is quite manifest that a certain and ♦ery speedy fortune will reward the labours of any enterprizing individual. The following will demonstrate the fact that the rent is very inadequate to its annual value, viz. Ist year 2OOl. a year. 2d do. 3d do. 4th do. at which latter rent a Lease for any period will be granted to an approved tenant, who cannot fail to secure a ♦ery considerable annual income. Principals will apply to Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden; and Messrs. Bartrum and Son, Solicitors, 72, Old Broad-street, who will explain in a personal interview the incalculable advan tages this Hotel has in the prospective. SALES BY AUCTION. NEAR KENSINGTON GARDENS.

The motion was seconded by Colonel Charlton, and carried unanimously. A committee was subsequently appointed to carry into effect the purposes of the meeting by securing the services of Sir Francis Chantrey, or some other eminent sculptor in England to execute a suitable monument. The sum of nearly 2501. was subscribed in the room towards this object, and a large additional collection was expected both in Ceylon and in England. On the 24th of May her Majesty's birthday was cele brated at the Government House by a ball and supper on a magnificent scale. The Governor proposed " The health of her Majesty," which was received with greet enthusiasm. After the health of the Duke of Sussex and the other usual loyal toasts had been drunk, Mr. Jeremie, the Acting Chief Justice, rose to propose the health of the Governor. He said that the Governor had alluded in terms which had been hailed with great delight to the promises of a new and most probably brilliant reign, but since the last anniversary a change had also taken place in the direction of affairs in this important colony. The opinion entertained of the good qualities of the head and heart which distinguished his Excellency's predecessor (Sir R. W. Horton), they had manifested at the time ; and happy was he to find that the same virtues were also found united in him whose health he had the honour to propose. In Mr. Stewart Mackenzie they had found the same unwearied activity, the same persevering zeal, the same earnest desire to promote the prosperity and happiness of the island—an island fortunate beyond example in its succession of Governors. His Excellency the Governor returned thanks. Several other toasts were subsequently proposed, and the day passed in great hilarity and good feeling. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

An inquest was last evening held in; Bruton-tnews, Berkeley-square, upon the body of Edward Farrow, aged 40, late a servant in the establishment of Count Pours di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador. It appeared from a lengthened in quiry that the deceased, who was an assistant coachman, had, since April, been labouring under a particular complaint, and had been attended by a quack doctor (and cobler) named Lincoln. On Monday evening deceased was visited by his medical attendant, who put a blister on his chest, but it never rose. Or, that evening h e t oo k p ill s, powders, and portions t o a r wn i n l h n o i g, x l e t u a r fe , t andhe time.did sooncln Tuesday s f d o l a l y o w nightin, d h a e y, , keepin g became seriously his bed ill, and awoke a fellow servant, who, at four o'clock in the m b f went for M r .

Mr. Fowke said that the medicines found in the room were of that descriptiondescr that they could do the deceased neither good nor had received proper medical advice he might have recovered, Verdict' e: D e Several of by thethe visitationJirry c ons considered God." that i f the and strongly censured the practices of ignorant quack doctors. The numbe r of passengers that the Captain of a vessel may receive on board varies according to the ship's bur pnnutttshiden dFepnartrt St. bur den. A f ew days ago the Prefect of Marseilles h avin g learned th at a vessel of 93 tons burden was on the p oint of sailing t o A merica with a much greater number of passengers than wa s a ll owed by the regulations, ordered a Commissary o f Police t o go on board to establish the breach of law, and to gers on b oard, being 109 more than the number proportioned to the ton nage. The Captain having purposely kept out o f the way, th e Commissary quitted the vessel at nightfall , leav ing,. two Police agents on board. No sooner was he ou t o f e j o e f an the andLa vessel.nlie She tte, was found at an chor with 156 passen reve sight than the eaptain came on board in a boat, and, finding himself in rathe r an awkward position, took the desperate re solution of sailing with a fair wind, and adding the two police agents to his 156 passengers bound for America. The next m o rning, as soo n as t h e sa ili ng o f t h e vesse l was discovered, a cruiser was despatched in search of her, but, as she is a fast sailer, and had a start of 12 or 15 hours, the police agents may reckon with the utmost confidence on the prospect of see ing foreign parts.

Mr. THESIGER, for the plaintiff, remarked that formerly juries were in the habit of giving very large sums as compen sation in cases of this sort, until a re-action took place in con sequence of exaggerated demands being set up by claimants, when they perhaps took the opposite extreme. His client was a milkman and carman, living in Canterbury-square, Southwark, who had acquired a large and improving trade, which would be entirely destroyed by his being com pelled to remove from his present premises. The Learned Counsel then detailed at considerable length profits of the two trades, which from the accounts showed an annual net profit of 829/. per annum. The claim he had made for the plaintiff was 1,9511., which he was sure the jury would not consider too much. A considerable number of witnesses were called to speak to the advantageous situation of the premises for business, the state of repair, and the difficulty of procuring other premises, as well as the profits of the business. Amongst the witnesses was Elizabeth Weeks, the vnilkwoman in the claimant's ser vice. She said my master keeps 16 cows. Almost all the milk is sold on the premises. It is fetched by the customers. I don't know anything about bow much water is put in. We sell milk at threepence a quart, and some at fourpence. The RECORDER-Aye, I suppose that is strong milk.—(A laugh.) __ Witness—We sell all the milk we have. There is never any left ; and sometimes we have to buy some. Mr. HILL—Aye, that's when the pump is out of order.— (Great laughter.) :11r. HILL then addressed the Jury for the Company, who returned the following verdict:— Premises Loss of trade £l3O 0 736 18 £866 18 being 1,1841. 10s. less than the compensation claimed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(FRIDAY). The Court sat but for a short time this morning, there being only two magistrates present beyond the Chairman. The object for which the session appeared to be held was to receive the lists of rateable property connected with the pa rishes of Clerkenwell, St. George, St. Andrew above Bars, &c. Last Wednesday the Court fined the overseers 101. each for not forwarding the proper returns ; but the Bench appointed this morning for the purpose of receiving them. The overseers of Clerkenwell satisfactorily explained the cause of delay, and the Chairman remitted the fine. After the accounts had been examined by Mr. Allen, the county treasurer, that gentleman reported an increase upon the present year over the last, as was shown by the following statements :-1837, 1471. ; 1838, 1631. The united St. George's and St. Andrew's accounts showed, on the contrary, a great decrease :-1837, 108/. ; 1838, 931. The overseers having been sworn to the truth of their re spective returns the session terminated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Scotch gentleman, who appeared in the charge list un der the feigned name of Charles Grant, was brought before Sir P. LAURIE► (who sat for the Lord Mayor), charged with having tumbled about the streets on Thursday night, in an " awful" state of intoxication. A constable stated that the gentleman rolled about Cheap side, and his condition was so awful that he made for the part of the street in which the labourers were working at the large sewer, and might have pitched in if he had not met a pro tector. Witness guessed what countryman he was when he got close to the sewer, for the moment he put his nose over it he began to recover, and feel quite at home. Witness was, therefore, under the necessity of taking care of him elsewhere. Sir P. LAURIE—How much money had he about him ? Con stable—About 8001. in cash and bills. Sir P. LAuatc—And he's from the North too 1—( A laugh.) Defendant—l am ashamed of myself, Sir. Ido declare most solemnly that I was never in sic a scandelous condee- tion before. Sir P. LAURIE—Are you a clerk or a principal ? Defen dant—A principal, truly. Sir P. LAI/sic—This is very bad. You might have lost your life, or been robbed of all this property, if it had net been for our police. Defendant—l am aware that my condeetion must have been deplorable, and lam heartily ashamed of it. It shall neever happen again. Sir P. LAURIE—Have a care. Remember, then, when a Scotchman turns drunkard, he beats all other nations in that vice. Defendant--It is quite impossible that I can be so much degraded again. Sir P. LAURIE -I hope so, indeed. Pay five shillings for this degradation, and remember that you are indebted to the officer for protection. The officer said that the gentleman had very kindly offered him a sovereign. The defendant then retired, evidently embarrassed at the shake of the head which Sir Peter gave upon advising him against any more taking a mouthful of the enemy. The next person brought up was a raw-looking fellow who had come to town with cattle. He was found lying drunk in the street. Sir P. LAURIE- Why this fellow is from the north, too. Officer—Yes, Sir Peter, he is a Scotchman. I never see a more drunken man than he was. He was terrible bad, to be sure. Sir P. LAHRIE—What have you to say for yourself? I sup pose you were never drunk before either ? Defendant—Neever afore, your Lordship. I cam to toon yesterday wi' beasts, and hoo I got into the mud I don't know, but I don't recollect taking anything but a wee drap of whiskey. The officer said that the man must have been drinking a great part of the day as he was in so helpless a state. Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, if you never drank before, the dose you have h a d, an d the consequences will, I hope, be a lesson to you. Defendant—l'll neever touch it again.—(A laugh.) The next person put to the bar was an elderly genteel . looking m an . He was charged with having been so drunk as The prisoner was held to bail. John Morgan, driver of hack ne y coac h 1,775, was placed at the bar charged with the following robbery : Mrs. Sarah Holden, of High street, Shoreditch, stated that the preceding afternoon she arrived in the Borough from Or pington. She hired a coach from the stand in Blackman street, into which her luggage was put. She entered the coach, and had with her a reticule, in which were four sove reigns, 4s. 6d., and a few bottles of medicine. As it was heavy she placed it upon the seat. When she reached her home the prisoner took out the luggage, which he gave to her brother. She received all but her reticule, which she forgot till the prisoner had left. She then communicated the rob bery to her husband, who applied to Tilt, an officer of this establishment. James Tilt said that he accompanied the witness's husband to the inn ii the Borough, when he found the number of the coach to be 3,089. Mr. GROV E —Then he was not the proper driver? Tilt— No, Sir. Mr. GROVE (to the prisoner)—Did the proprietor of the coach give you leave to drive? The prisoner said that he did not. Tilt stated that he went to the proprietor, who is Mr. James Thomas Watts, who gave him the nam e o f t h e proper driver, an d b y whose directions he succeeded in finding out the prisoner. While he was in his custody, on passing the rank of coaches in Blackman -street, some of the drivers called out to him, " What about the medicine," showing that they had some knowledge of the robbery. Thomas Holden deposed that the prisoner gave him all the luggage except the reticule. The prisoner, who denied the robbery, was remanded for a we: k. gentleman On Tuesday evening th e family of a re siding in the vicinity of Dorset-square were tikown into a state of the greatest anxiety in consequence of tht disappear.. ance of his niece, who was under his guardianship. It ap pears that the young lady had feigned a slight indisposition to be excused accompanying her relatives to the theatre. The footman, on his return from leaving them at the Haymarket Theatre, having a message to deliver to her from his mistress, was much alarmed at not finding her in the house, particularly as a female domestic was likewise absent, and a letter in the hand-writing of the young lady was on the parlour table. He immediately took a cab, and hastened back to the theatre, and delivered it to her uncle, who instantly returned home, and, obtaining a clue to her destination from the letter, forthwith ordered post-horses, and went in pursuit of the fair fugitive. It is rumoured in the neighbourhood that she has placed herself under the protection of an officer of high rank in the army, who is upwards of 30 years her senior, and was on terms of the greatest friendship with the family, who had not the most remote idea of his intentions. The young lady has but just entered her nineteenth year, possessed of great personal at tractions, and will be entitled to considerable property on at taining her majority. The Courrier de Lyons announces the recent cap ture of a robber chief on the Swiss frontier, who was the head of three formidable bands, one in France, one in Italy, and the third in Switzerland. He has been brought to Lyons, where he had formerly lived under his own name, but, at the same time carried on his nefarious practices with the aid of his French associates. He is an Italian by birth, and in the prime of life. When taken be had a passport under a false name, signed by the Duke de Montebello. A company of coal-owners in England," says the Debats, "have recently entered upon an immense speculation. They are about to despatch forty vessels laden with this fuel, for supplying Paris and the numerous manufactories in its environs. They are expected to enter the Seine in the course of next month. The duties upon this coal, before it can be brought into consumption, are estimated at 1,250,000 francs, of which about 700,000 will be for the customs, and the re mainder for the Octroi duties on coming into Paris." On Thursday an inquest was held at the Town Hall, Gravesend, on the body of Mr. William Elder, aged 45, late of the firm of Alexander Elder and Co., bankers in Kircud brightshire, Scotland, who put an end to his life last Sunday by hanging himself. From the evidence it appeared that de ceased was the owner of the Manganese mines, near Gotten burg in Swedes. In consequence of the mercantile embar rassments of the house of Eider and Co., about eighteen years since, the deceased became so much affected that it was ne cessary to detain him for some sime in a lunatic asylum in Scotland. About that time the deceased leased his property in the mines to the house of Ebenezer Ferrier and Co., of London, and from these parties he was to receive a certain sum for every ton of ore they shipped; but in the contract it was not made obligatory that the lessees should ship at certain times or in given quantities. It accordingly happened that they exhumed great quanties of the ore and carried it off by $ railroad.
